Due to economic slow downs and overstock problems, Intel is said to be pushing back the release of their more mainstream core i7 processors until at least late August. The original launch time frame was mid to late July. If the economic conditions don’t improve, or, get worse, the date could be pushed back even further. Intel’s budget desktop processor replacement for the current Core 2 Due, the Havendale architecture, is rumored to have chip samples ready by next month. However, production isn’t slated to start until September or October with the actaul launch being pushed into next January. The effects of the slowdown are not yet known on Auburndale, a relative to Havendale designed for mobile processors, as to if that architecture will be delayed as well.
